At the May meeting of the Trustees the board accepted, with great reluctance, Paul Mellon's decision to retire as chairman and as Trustee, the latter position being one in which he has served for forty-seven years. At the same time, Mr. Mellon was elected Honorary Trustee for life. Shortly after his retirement from the Gallery's board, the United States Senate passed a resolution honoring and thanking Mr. Mellon, on behalf of the American people, for his many years of fruitful service to the National Gallery and this country. The Senate paid tribute to Mr. Mellon as "... a bold and inspired collector, humanist and philanthropist who has made extraordinary and lasting contri- butions to the spirit and well-being of this Nation, thereby enriching the quality of life for his fellow citizens. ." Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, a Trustee of the Gallery since 1964, was elected to succeed Mr. Mellon as chairman. Robert H. Smith, who has most ably led the Trustees' Council as chairman since its incep- tion, succeeds Mr. Mellon as one of the Gallery's five General Trustees. Further changes took place as Alexander M. Laughlin succeeded Mr. Smith as Trustees' Council chairman, and Lois de Menil and John C. Whitehead became council vice chairmen. Now in its third year, the council continues to play a lively and important role in advising the Trustees on a wide range of program and policy issues, and the Gallery benefits greatly from the participation of this interested and informed group. Four new members—Sallie Brophy of Greenwich, Connecticut, Carroll J. Cavanagh of Washington, Robert F. Erburu of Los Angeles, and Lore Heinemann of New York City —have joined the Trustees' Council this year. We learned with profound regret of the death of Trustees' Council member Gabriele Murdock in January. During the course of the year, we accepted the resignations of council members Sid R. Bass, Bruce B. Dayton, and Anne W. Sowell. I am delighted to report that, by the time of Paul Mellon's retirement in May 1985, the Patrons' Permanent Fund exceeded the 6 campaign objective of $50 million. As I have indicated in previous reports, the Gallery's collections are solely the result of private generosity, with no government funds ever being used for acquisi- tions. Accordingly, the private sector must continue to be the source through which the Gallery gains its ability to ensure its continued excellence, and the Patrons1 Permanent Fund will play a key role in providing such capability. A list of donors to the fund up to the end of last fiscal year appears immediately following this preface. We are very grateful indeed for the exceptional generosity of all of those who have made our first-ever campaign such a success. I also wish to take this occasion to express the Gallery's appreciation to our hardworking campaign committee of J. Carter Brown, Katharine Graham, Louis J. Hector, Carlisle H. Humelsine, R. L. Ireland III, Ruth Carter Stevenson, Paul Mellon, Franklin D. Murphy, Robert H. Smith, and John C. Whitehead. With the Patrons' Permanent Fund in place, we look forward to furthering the Gallery's commitment to increase awareness in the visual arts and to make its collections accessible to everyone. JOHN R.

  • Gender and Computer Games/Video Games
    Gender and Computer Games/ Video Games Girls’ Perspective Orientation Authors: Yan Jingjing Subject: Master Thesis in Business Administration 15 ECTS Program: Master of International Management Gotland University Spring semester 2010 Supervisor: Bo Lennstrand Abstract The topic of this thesis is “Gender Differences in Computer games/ Video games Industry”. Due to rapid development in technology and popularization of computers all around the world, computer games have already become a kind of common entertainment. Because computer games were designed especially for boys at the very beginning, there are still some remaining barriers when training female game designers and expanding game markets among female players. This thesis is mainly based on two studies which have enormous contributions to gender issue in computer games area. A simple model is established by summarizing factors mentioned and discussed in those two books. The main purpose consists of two comparisons under Gender Differences: one comparison is between the current data with the previous one, in order to check whether there are any changes during the past 10 years. The other one compares the young people in two regions, Sweden and China, in computer games perspective. Model designing, test, questionnaire and interview methods are used in this paper aiming to collect and categorize the data, which facilitates to analyze the results of the comparisons. The results reflect that although computer becomes a familiar “friend” in modern daily life, there are not obvious changes of girls‟ perspectives in computer game industry. Certainly, there are some differences between the young people coming from two regions which will be expounded in the thesis.

Sans pinceau le doigt seul place et fond chaque teinte; Le duvet du papier en conserve l’empreinte; Un crystal la défend; ainsi, de la beauté Le Pastel a l’éclat et la fragilité.1 It is at once line and colour – a sort of synthesis of the traditional opposition that had been debated vigorously by theoreticians such as Roger de Piles in the previous century.
